ICE isn't the Gestapo. The Gestapo didn't hide their faces.

If history is any guide, ICE may be better compared to the SA. Their job is to make it safe for the future Gestapo to operate unmasked... at which point the unprofessional street thugs in ICE will find that they've become a liability to the regime.

The Gestapo also didn't have smartphones recording their every action in public places being disseminated to the entire planet.

Note that Noem has already declared that any video evidence of ICE's criminal activity is itself illegal and inadmissible [1,2].

As I understand it, the right to record police has never actually been tried definitively at the SCOTUS level. The Republicans certainly have the tools on the SCOTUS bench to prohibit it now, so look for a case to be brought at some point.

She says all kinds of stupid stuff. Nobody out in the real world should take that kind of statement seriously. Which school gave her that law degree?

[CamperBob2]

Ah, the "They don't really mean it" school of thought. Thanks for your input.

[amanaplanacanal]

I'm sure she means it, she's just an idiot.

Gestapo was proud of their work. If they could and had phones, they would post selfies.

But, they were actual police, highly effective. (Torured, murdered, commited genocide ... buy were actual trained cop good at being cops and good at genocide).
